CRET Seminar, Tokyo, January 2010

The introduction to this session responded to these questions: (1) What do we mean by technology-enhanced active learning strategies? (2) Why are they important for improving instructional effectiveness? and (3) What are the barriers to faculty members adopting technology-enhanced active learning strategies? At this point, the audience was formed into four or five-person small groups, and, after introductions, selected a group chair and a recorder/reporter. These groups focused on this question: What strategies do you recommend that the University employ to encourage faculty members to use technology-enhanced active learning strategies?

Education 2008

What will the educational landscape look like in 2018? How will educational organizations be structured? How will they define their markets? How will teachers teach? What will be the role of information technology? What are the forces driving these changes? What do they mean for the education of our people, young and old? How can educators help them thrive in this new world? How can we assist our colleagues to accommodate and thrive? Professor Morrison address these questions in his keynote presentation.

Part I—Higher Education in Transition

Higher education is in a major transition period that will fundamentally change the way colleges and universities will conduct their business in the coming decades. Although the change in social institutions is seldom rapid, the combined forces of demography, globalization, economic restructuring, and information technology are forcing colleges to reconceptualize their markets, organizational structures, and pedagogical practices. This presentation focused on the impact of these forces on American and Malaysian higher education.

Preparing Your Manuscript for Publication

Publication in professional journals is critical to a successful academic career. Getting published, however, requires more than simply knowing your field or writing up a study. Understanding the process of publication from the editor's point of view, and making sure that your article meets the editor's basic expectations, enhances your chances of getting "Accept" or "Revise and Resubmit" letters, rather than rejection notes.
